MARKET POTENTIAL Demand of domestic electric cable is bound to increase firstly, due to ambitious programme for electrification and house building secondly, due to renovation job as old cable has to be removed to avoid any short circuit due to ageing with new advanced cable of high conductivity in given size with perfect insulation against any electric fault. Not with standing the bulk of the demand is met by large scale unit or multinationals manufacturing these product but due to cheaper rate of production by small scale unit there is always scope for small scale unit.
Basis and Presumptions i) The basis for calculation of production capacity has been taken on single shift basis on 75% efficiency. ii) The maximum capacity utilization on single shift basis for 300 days a year. During first year and second year of operations the capacity utilization is 60% and 80% respectively. The unit is expected to achieve full capacity utilization from the third year onwards. iii) The salaries and wages, cost of raw materials, utilities, rents, etc. are based on the prevailing rates in and around Imphal. These cost factors are likely to vary with time and location. iv) Intrest on term loan and working capital loan has been taken at the rate of 18% on an average. This rate may vary depending upon the policy of the financial institutions/agencies from time to time.

Copper conductor (wire) of the required size is fed into the Extruder where in PVC is coated on the wire to the specified thickness. The extruded wire after ing through the cooling tank is coiled on the take off system. The wire is coiled into the length of 100 meters and tested as per IS specification. Insulation is strictly as per National and International specification. PVC cables are available as Thermoplastic dielectric. PVC cables use PVC compound that takes care of overload and short circuit currents with both coarse and fine protection systems. Laying up: Cores are tested on line during production both for physical and electric characteristic. For multi core cables, cores are laid up on latest laying machine, equipped with sector correction equipments. Insulation: Laid up cables are provided with insulation of high quality PVC polymer which is softer than outer sheath and are compatible with temperature rating of the cables. Outer sheath: Cables are provided
with
PVC/polymer outer sheath ST1 with various characteristics of sheathing compounds. General purpose sheathing compound High Temp. Resistant Compound (HR) Fire Retardant Low Smoke Compound (FRLS) ICE 383 ASTM - 2843

A notification for detailed Rules to regulate ODS phase out under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 have been put in place with effect from 19th July 2000.
Energy Conservation With the growing energy needs and shortage coupled with rising energy cost, a greater thrust in energy efficiency in industrial sector has been given by the Government of India since 1980s. The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 has been enacted on 18th August 2001, which provides for efficient use of energy, its 8
conservation and capacity building of Bureau of Energy Efficiency created under the Act. The following steps may help for conservation of electrical energy: i) Adoption of energy conserving technologies, production aids and testing facilities. ii) Efficient management of process/manufacturing machineries and systems, QC and testing equipments for yielding maximum Energy Conservation. iii) Optimum use of electrical energy for heating during soldering process can be obtained by using efficient temperature controlled soldering and de-soldering stations. iv) Periodical maintenance of motors, compressors etc. v) Use of power factor correction capacitors. Proper selection and layout of lighting system; timely switching on-off of the lights; use of compact fluorescent lamps wherever possible etc.
